Chapter 631: Chapter 291: Immortal Flying Invitation
The person approaching quickly outside did not conceal their presence, and Qin Gengyun sensed it too. The couple stepped out of the house and saw a figure in a plain, dignified white robe.
"Senior Sister Suxin?"
Qin Gengyun went forward, and Suxin, seeing Qiu Zhihe beside him, wasn’t surprised. She got straight to the point:
"Taoist Friend Qin, Taoist Friend Qiu, I’m here to bid you farewell. Wei Wan and I are going to Qinghe City."
Qin Gengyun asked in surprise, "Senior Sister Suxin, why do you need to go to Qinghe City?"
Thinking of something, he added, "Cheng Qingyu’s father?"
Suxin did not hide it: "Taoist Friend Qin guessed correctly; Cheng Qingyu’s father should indeed be the Sect Leader. As for whether he is the one who bought Junior Sister Wei back then, and whether he is the Spirit Corpse Mountain Master, I cannot provide you with answers right now."
"Wei Jinor Sister and I are going to Qinghe City to uncover the truth."
"Before that, please do not act against the interests of Zhenyang Sect."
"My master has also assured me, as long as you do not create trouble, she will not make things difficult for you."
After Suxin finished speaking, she clasped her hands in a gesture of respect to the two: "Taoist Friends, the outcome of my journey is uncertain, and the fortune cannot be foreseen. If I survive, see you again in West Imperial City in half a year!"
Qiu Zhihe suddenly spoke up, "Congratulations, Taoist Friend Su, on restructuring your Tao Heart."
Suxin was taken aback, a smile appearing on her face: "Thank you, Taoist Friend Qiu, I hope we will still be friends when we meet again."
At that moment, Wei Wan’s figure appeared in the distance, and Suxin nodded to the two and then turned to glide toward Wei Wan.
From afar, Wei Wan also clasped her hands in a gesture of farewell to Qin Gengyun and He Zhiqiu. Qin Gengyun solemnly returned the gesture: "Taoist Friend Wei, take care."
Suxin and Wei Wan stood together, glanced back at Qin Gengyun and He Zhiqiu, smiled, and vanished in an instant.
Qin Gengyun sighed, "It seems Taoist Friend Su and Taoist Friend Wei have changed a lot, like... shedding a heavy shell."
Qiu Zhihe remained silent, and Qin Gengyun looked sideways at her, "Beloved, when will you be able to shed your shell?"
Qiu Zhihe was expressionless and still did not speak.
Qin Gengyun paid no mind and asked again, "Beloved, actually, we’ve finished with things here in Zhenyang Sect. Why not leave this place of contention?"
Qiu Zhihe replied, "If we leave, Tantai Mingyue will certainly try to stop us. If we don’t leave, we remain tacitly acknowledged with them."
Qin Gengyun understood. There was indeed something his beloved hadn’t said: currently, the hearts of people within the Zhenyang Sect are unsettled. If it’s proven that Chen Qingmo colluded with Spirit Corpse Mountain and even evidence is found of Zhenyang Sect slandering the Cyan Lotus Sect back then,
Zhenyang Sect can be dismantled from within, and the Leader of the Righteous Path will naturally collapse on its own.
Of course, the risks involved are unpredictable.
Right now, the most important thing is to cultivate one’s strength.
Qin Gengyun said to Qiu Zhihe, "Beloved, let’s continue practicing."
Qiu Zhihe nodded, then turned and glanced into a dark spot, followed Qin Gengyun back into the house.
Moments later, Tantai Mingyue’s figure emerged from the distant darkness, a strange color flitted across her eyes.
"Ruo Mei, who exactly are you?"
Just as Qiu Zhihe anticipated, Tantai Mingyue had been standing here. Had Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe intended to leave Zhenyang Mountain, she would have intervened to stop them.
Now, seeing they had no intention of leaving, she was relieved.
Though at Nascent Soul Peak, inexplicably, just facing Qiu Zhihe’s gaze earlier triggered a wave of anxiety.
This feeling had only appeared when facing Nalan Yan and Xia Qinglian before.
Currently, Tantai Mingyue’s palm was slightly sweaty.
Just now, had she acted, she truly had no assurance of being able to retain Qiu Zhihe.
Tantai Mingyue quietly disappeared into the darkness.
...
"Junior Sister, do you know where Senior Sister Suxin lives?"
"Who are you to dare call Senior Sister Suxin a Junior Sister?"
"I am Ming Hu of Thunder Sword Sect."
"Oh dear! Y-you’re the eldest brother of Thunder Sword Sect?"
"Hey, hey, why are you running?"
Ming Hu looked helplessly at the startled fleeing female disciple of Zhenyang Sect.
After being rejected by Suxin, he couldn’t sleep at night and decided to come out directly to confront her in her boudoir.
But he turned everywhere and couldn’t find the way, finally caught a female disciple to ask directions, only to scare her away.
Ming Hu scratched his head anxiously, when suddenly two figures flew overhead, and Ming Hu saw clearly and joyfully waved his hand:
"Junior Sister Su, Junior Sister Su!"
Suxin and Wei Wan looked down, and Wei Wan said to Suxin, "Someone’s looking for you, should we go down?"
Suxin shook her head: "Our journey ahead is unpredictable, let’s not add complications."
Ming Hu saw Suxin ignoring him, summoned his gigantic Thunderclap Sword, jumped onto it, and chased after them with roaring thunder.
Soon he stopped right in front of Suxin, who looked at him helplessly:
"Senior Brother Ming, I have important matters, please move aside."
Ming Hu chuckled foolishly: "Junior Sister Su, I’ll go with you. In case of trouble I can help fight, you know!"
Suxin’s expression turned cold: "Senior Brother Ming, this is our Zhenyang Sect’s matter, we don’t need your involvement."
Ming Hu scratched his head, suddenly from a fierce tiger becoming a docile kitten: "Come on, Junior Sister Su, please let me come with you, I will do whatever you say, okay?"
"Yikes~~"
Wei Wan shuddered, goosebumps all over.
Suxin was left speechless: "Senior Brother Ming, please restrain yourself!"
As she finished speaking, she bypassed Ming Hu and left with Wei Wan using Sword Control.
Ming Hu stared blankly at the receding back of Suxin, puzzled:
"Didn’t Little Junior Sister say no woman can resist a macho man acting cute? Why doesn’t it work? Junior Sister Su, wait for me!"
Ming Hu’s thick-skinned persistence led him to chase after them.
The three figures soon flew out of Zhenyang Mountain.
Tantai Mingyue stood atop Danxia Peak, gazing into the distance at the three departing figures, her beautiful eyes filled with benevolence:
"Xin’Er, I hope the one you encounter will meet your hopes, staying true to you from beginning to end."
She lifted her head and looked at the bright moon in the night sky:
"Senior Brother, where are you now?"
Suddenly a huge shadow appeared in the sky, covering the moon, emitting brilliant light, the pitch-black night instantly lit up as bright as day.
The sky was blocked by an enormous invitation, flashing with two lines:
"Gathering heroes worldwide, with honor invite to Ascend."
Tantai Mingyue widened her eyes, muttering:
"Immortal Flying Invitation."
The Immortal Ascension Ceremony occurs every few years. Each time before it begins, Immortal Flying Pavilion issues the "Immortal Flying Invitation" to the world.
Inviting all cultivators from Hongzhou Continent.
This "Immortal Flying Invitation" is visible across the whole Hongzhou Continent, just like the Beauty Ranking and Ascension Chart.
The appearance of the Immortal Flying Invitation heralds the upcoming grand meeting for seizing heavenly secrets.
Tantai Mingyue closed her eyes, reopening them moments later. Her gentle voice carried by powerful spiritual power across the Zhenyang Sect:
"The Immortal Flying Invitation has appeared. All disciples from the peaks must strive in cultivation and fight for the sect’s chance to ascend!"
"Five months later, the sect competition, the top ten will represent Zhenyang Sect in the Immortal Ascension Ceremony!"
